It’s a typical rallying cry of new CEOs to trumpet efficiency and extreme cutting our way back to profitability.

I saw that “I expect everyone to treat company money like their own and lead by example.” line and knew that this guy was clueless. No one’s gonna do that, mostly because it’s not their own money. I’d expect that kind of delusion from a small business owner, but from the CEO of a major company? C’mon, man.

Lol...what a great speech.  I have no plan..but dont waste time and money.  umm..or else..yeah!

You’re probably looking at city population, not metro area. I live in Richmond, VA. City population of about 225,000, metro popultaion of about a million. We’re the 98th largest city in the US. I included metro population because very few of the stores are actually in the city proper. And regardless of what you…

Dude really got up there and pulled a Farquaad...

Insert Shrek meme with Lord Farquaad saying “some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” here 

Is there a bigger line of bullshit than a CEO saying “I’m not even getting paid”?

You forgot the part about “as I, a billionaire who wastes our money on NFTs.....”.

And that frugality will, naturally, apply to himself, right? Right???

Because Capitalism is just Feudalism with a new coat of paint, and billionaires - like ‘Nobles’ of old - are intrinsically OWED your labor, your love, and even your very lives should the need arise!

Oh my god did he end his email with “Best of luck to us all”?

It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business.

““It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business,””

“Sure I’m worth billions but I’m not getting a paycheck, so when you suffer, know that I’m right there with you, eating off-brand caviar, drinking Johnny Walker Green instead of Blue, and suffering other privations.”

“I will be straight to the point. It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business. The mission is to operate hyper efficiently and profitably.”

ThinkGeek died because GameStop bought it and killed it...

Not out of business, purchased by gamestop during its prime only for gamestop to shutdown the product development division (you know the thing that made the unique products that made Thinkgeek worth visiting) and instead just fill the stores with the same junk they had already been pedaling at gamestop. gamestop had a…

“I want you, not even paid a living wage, to care about my money as much as I, a billionaire, care about my money.”

Biggest money saving they could do is dump the CEO. Their email was a waste of time and money and I am willing to be he delegates 90% of anything he is supposed to do. He probably delegated writing the email.
